Founded by Larry Ellison its focus was on information services. With computers and information operations beginning to play a more significant role in business, Oracle began to capitalize on the need for products and services in the IS market. Its services included and still include today - database software, security, data warehousing, enterprise management software, consulting, radio frequency identification devices and more.[1] PeopleSoft was founded ten years after Oracle in 1987. Dave Duffield and Ken Morris created PeopleSoft to focus primarily on ERP software. As many IS technologies were beginning to show their age and a need for newer types of operations to compete with foreign firms emerging, PeopleSoft was looking for a way to create a profitable company. Both founders saw the opportunity of enterprise resource planning as a new technology which would take off in future years.[2] The takeover of PeopleSoft by Oracle was a long and complicated legal and public opinion battle. The takeover itself had several reasons but one was the most significant. To begin Oracle was increasingly finding it was in a market which was becoming more competitive. As technologies age and patents expire new firms are taking market share away from the...

... Information Security Management within ERP Systems Research Paper Introduction This paper will discuss research on Information Security Management (ISM) within Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Systems since information security continues to be a hot topic in the business world. The major focus of the paper will be threefold: an analysis of the ERP systems in the present day, a relation of these systems to the accounting and auditing world, and finally, the future of the technology, given its vast impact in the business world. Notable ERP Systems Research Key research pertinent to this paper includes the works of Grabski et al. (2011) who discuss various issues relating to the security environment, as regards the ERP systems. They talk about the risk associated with ERP systems implementation and define it as a “problem that has not occurred but has the potential to cause loss” (Grabski et al. 2011, p. 55). They mention that there is a need for ERP audit techniques, such as embedded audit modules, to control security risks (2011, p.55). This paper will utilize their research work to analyze auditing in an ERP environment by examining security risks and internal controls after ERP implementation. Additionally, Hunton et al. (2004) try to address the issue of risk associated with ERP systems, in the context of auditing (p.1-23). Hunton et al. (2004) analyze how financial auditors compare ERP systems related risks to non-ERP systems risks (p.1). They also address the...

...Case Study ERP Implementation Failures ERP systems are an integrated software solution that is typically offered through a vendor as packaged software that supports the organization’s supply chain and other business functions, such as, receiving, inventory management, customer order management, production, planning, shipping, accounting, and human resource management. The use of ERP is very widespread across a multitude of industries. As a matter of fact, a report by Computer Economics Inc. states that, “76% of manufacturers, 35% of insurance and health care companies, and 24% of Federal Government agencies already have an ERP system or are in the process of installing one.” Over 60% of Fortune 1000 companies have implemented ERP systems (Hawkins & Stein, 2004). It is not just large firms that are implementing ERP systems, small and medium size companies are making use of ERP systems as well (O’Leary, 2004). ERP systems have expanded across the globe and many of world’s leading companies consider Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems an essential information systems infrastructure to survive and prosper in today’s economy. There are many advantages to ERP systems. Companies that have successfully implemented ERP systems report improvement in management decision making, improvement in efficiency, improvement in information exchange, improvement in performance and productivity levels and improvement in customer service and customer satisfaction, just to name a few.

Divergent applications by practitioners and academics, as well as by researchers in alternative fields of study, has allowed for both considerable proliferation of information on the topic but also for a considerable amount of confusion regarding the meaning of the term. research two distinct research streams emerge. In reviewing ERP The first focuses on the fundamental corporate capabilities driving ERP as a strategic concept. A second stream focuses on the details associated with implementing information systems and their relative success and cost. This paper briefly discusses these research streams and suggests some ideas for related future research. Published in the European Journal of Operational Research 146(2), 2003 1 Introduction – The many views of ERP Speculation on the future development and success of ERP is the topic of many popular press articles. These articles, typically written by individuals associated with the ERP companies, are often focused on the merits of the featured software. Unfortunately, in order to distinguish the merits of alternate packages, authors...

...Lauderdale Fl 33317. E-mail: cc1604@nova.edu Background Enterprise Resource Planning integrates internal and external management information across an entire organization, embracing finance/accounting, manufacturing, sales and service, customer relationship management, etc. ERP systems automate this activity with an integrated software application (Hossein, 2004). The ERP is “Web enabled”, meaning that they work using Web clients, making them accessible to all of the organization’s employees, clients, partners, and vendors from anytime and anyplace, thereby promoting the BU’s effectiveness (Motiwalla & Thompson, 2012). The fundamental advantage of ERP is that integrating the myriad processes by which businesses operate saves time and expense. Decisions can be made more quickly and with fewer errors. Data becomes visible across the organization (Vikki, 2010). The disadvantages comes from the tight budget organizations allocate to personnel training thus resulting inadequate use of ERP systems and poor testing and implementing of changes. The experience and skill of the personnel has a major influence on the efficiency of the ERP systems. (Mutt, Nick. N.d). There are several organizations that choose ERP as an option. They have to go through several stages to reach the successful and final stage, which will be finalizing the process of the implementation including stress testing and the assurance of information. I have found three sources, scenarios the...

...“Discuss the contribution of Actor-Network Theory to our understanding of management accounting and control in organisations that have adopted ERPS technologies.” Over the past decade, management accounting has seen an extraordinary rise in technology driven innovations, whereby Hyvonen (2008) explains how this has contributed to the emergence of virtual organisations. The power of ICT plays a pivotal role in many organisations, through providing a basis for managing efficient operations and formulating corporate strategy. Moreover, Bhimani et al (2008) explains how ICT provides the opportunity to alleviate the problems associated with information flows in organisations with fragmented information systems. In practice, Hyvonen (2008) notes that the centralised control of large organisations requires ICT systems that make the periphery visible to the centre. The enterprise wide resource planning system (ERP System) is an example of an ICT system which coordinates all the resources, activities and corporate information of an organisation into one central database that collects data and feeds it into multiple applications that support all business activities of an organisation. Furthermore, it has been suggested that such systems facilitate unprecedented levels of organisational integration (Dechow and Mouritsen, 2005) and thus ERP systems have provided a new platform for organisations to thrive and develop a competitive advantage. Actor-Network Theory is a constructivist and...
